Well put. I take comfort in knowing that the people I deal with every day (friends, coworkers, church acquaintances, etc.) are decent people just trying to do the best for their families and themselves. The sociopaths running things and their brownshirt thugs aren't representative of the population. In fact if it wasn't for the internet I wouldn't know they existed as I never see them in my day to day activities.
But we are fortunate that we live in a bubble to some extent that we've created through God's grace and some good decisions. We don't see street crime or racial tensions. We aren't in debt up to our eyeballs. We aren't permanent clients of the medical industry. We attend a very diverse biblical church pretty equally split between blacks, whites, hispanics, and asians and people couldn't be kinder to each other. I'm as white as Wonder Bread as they say and my best buddy from church is a black guy. We are all God's children and enjoy praising God together.
The problem for many is that you need to have some money and much wisdom to isolate yourself from America's pathologies. The prevailing culture tells people to be self-destructive, divisive, and hateful towards others. The beauty of it though, is that if you follow God's Word you will gain wisdom. And as you gain wisdom, you'll make some money. Not from stealing from people, but from being productive and a good coworker.
Once you get to that point you can shield your family and yourself from much of the ugliness, and take comfort in what this country still offers. But you have to understand that virtually everything the government, media, news, and advertising says is a lie meant to enslave you. Tune it out and seek wisdom in God's Word.
Thank you for pointing out the only source of truth and righteousness which is God’s Word. We need to keep our eyes focused on the Bible and what God has said and done. He’s the Creator and has made Himself known to us through His Word. He has a plan that will prevail; He will never fail us.
I remember, however, growing up hearing stories about Christians in the USSR. Insulation was no longer possible for them. They lived in poverty, under constant threat of having their kids removed, often the pastor husbands were taken away to work camps in Siberia. It was quite awful.
It’s a painful realization but there’s a peace that brings clarity when we begin to realize how reality really works: our government is the bad guy and it runs Democide and Menticide on us: https://unorthodoxy.substack.com/p/democide-and-menticide
And now we know this we can come up with real solutions based in reality 😊
The Bible clearly tells us the weapons to use against the enemy of darkness.
We don't know reality and it is bigger than psyops from the devil.
Imagine all the times, for instance in the OT, God's people strayed from Him, got in a heap of trouble including idol worship and hedonism, and then had to beg God to save them. It seems we are at that breaking point again. Maybe this will be the last, end times, but obeying God's commands is doing the best thing and trusting God will do the rest. Blind faith. Jesus is my Savior and this is a spiritual battle so prayer is a weapon against the enemy.
John 20:29 Then Jesus told him, “Because you have seen me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.”
Isaiah 54:17 no weapon that is fashioned against you shall succeed,
and you shall refute every tongue that rises against you in judgment.
This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord
and their vindication from me, declares the Lord.”
Excellent! Thank you sharing truth! Our risen Lord and Savior is our hope and our salvation! I’m waiting for the sound of that trumpet when Jesus calls His people home!
The scary thing is that "the government" is making these decisions. Who is "the government"? It's not the good 'ol "of, by, and for" government Lincoln spoke of. Our current government has morphed into an evil entity that demands to be fed by us while at the same time baring its teeth at the hands that feed it.
I recently discovered that the US military engaged in biowarfare in Korea & Viet Nam, dropping mice infected with the plague and hemorrhagic fever on civilians in those countries.
Prior to the Korean War, those nations had zero hemorrhagic fever.
The reason they assassinated JFK, RFK, and executed a bloodless coup against Nixon, was that each of these men opposed the Intel Community's bioweapons and endless war efforts.
Man, have I been black pilled from my old beliefs!
Apparently we also transported mustard gas to Italy during WWI which exploded on the ship in the harbor. I can't remember where I saw this information, but I was shocked at the time I read it. I'm no longer shocked.
Yes, I hate the evil interference against other nations. However, whatever the time frame we, those who are marked as the Lord's, will see the answers to our prayers.
Helps me to think of "those enemy countries" (Russia, China, North Korea) as a twofold country - the "questionable" leadership vs. the people themselves who, in perhaps a majority of cases, in no way believe the way their leadership does.
Yes and sadly it seems like the other countries are in the same situation. Governments are not operating for the benefit of their own citizens anywhere.
I am proud to be an American. I am blessed to live freely (for now) in this country.
But it is a horrible realization that we - as in our own government - are the bad guys. 😢

I realized a long time ago that my job as a husband and father was to honor God, create stability and remove chaos from my home.
That was the best thing I could do to fight Satan for my little ones.
They're all grown now, and I still remind them of that same mission.

For now, yes, thank God this is largely true.

Amen, Jeff C.

Wisdom here. Well stated.
Perfectly stated.
Imagine the government ruling in favor of the government.
Shocking, i tell ya....whoduthunk?

We all need to be on our knees praying to God.

Captured by Transnationals cabal.
Boom! There it is!

It is a sad day when you realize your gubmint is the enemy.
Once the scales fall off your eyes there is no going back...
Sadly true. Our government is the black hats, since Korea.
I recently discovered that the US military engaged in biowarfare in Korea & Viet Nam, dropping mice infected with the plague and hemorrhagic fever on civilians in those countries.
Prior to the Korean War, those nations had zero hemorrhagic fever.
Thanks, CIA.
These are sick, sick people. Good Lord, it’s like we live in some kind of twisted dystopian movie.
The reason they assassinated JFK, RFK, and executed a bloodless coup against Nixon, was that each of these men opposed the Intel Community's bioweapons and endless war efforts.
Man, have I been black pilled from my old beliefs!
I just want it to STOP. Let's confront our history and turn inward to heal our nation
They've been releasing contaminated insects on Americans for decades then spraying contaminates to kill them and us. Still going.
Lyme disease from ticks.
Plum Island bioweapon.
Originally developed to drop on the Soviets.
Apparently we also transported mustard gas to Italy during WWI which exploded on the ship in the harbor. I can't remember where I saw this information, but I was shocked at the time I read it. I'm no longer shocked.
